New unique technology Gyrocompasses GC80 and GC85eliminates the need for annual service. The small, compact”all in one” RGC50 Gyrocompass is designed for smallervessels and non-IMO applications. The all new GC80 andGC85 are fully IMO approved for standard and High SpeedCraft (GC85) and can be configured in a dual gyrocompasssystem. The highest possible accuracy and stability isprovided by the new technology, fully sealed sensitive element.

System flexibilityThe most flexible Gyrocompass on the market, for instal-

lation, configuration and cost. A wide range of control unitsprovide complete flexibility of system configuration for newinstallation and easy retrofit into existing repeater systems.The standard range of interfaces can easily be expanded toprovide signals for all vessel applications.

The distribution of power and heading signals from thecontrol units enables practical installation and easy retrofit.
